48 inch rectangular mantel liner gives a defined stainless steel cavity inside a wood range hood, so the ventilator works in a consistent, easy-to-clean metal-lined opening. The liner is part of the VMI, Inc. range hood liners class, which keeps the working area centered around the ventilator instead of raw wood. Stainless steel construction matches the SAP description "STNLSS STL," so the exposed interior presents durable metal rather than finished lumber. The liner is designed for Air-Pro 08WP and 08E ventilators, so the ventilator sits in a shaped opening instead of a field-built box. That design focus helps installers position the ventilator in the correct rectangular footprint while maintaining the finished look of surrounding wood cabinetry.
The rectangular mantel liner is defined as 48 inches and rectangular, so installers can frame the wood range hood cavity to match that footprint before setting the liner in place. The stainless steel construction, called out in the SAP description, means the liner can be fastened through metal flanges into wood structure without exposing wood directly to the ventilator airflow. Being designed for Air-Pro 08WP and 08E ventilators keeps the opening geometry consistent with those units, so once the liner is seated, the ventilator installs into a shaped metal cavity instead of an irregular site-built box.
The liner is described as rectangular and designed for Air-Pro 08WP and 08E ventilators, so it defines a straight-sided interior around those specific blower models. Within the wood range hoods category, that rectangular shape lets cabinet shops design mantels that surround a clean metal interior instead of building ad-hoc vent boxes. Because the SAP description lists this as a mantel liner, it is intended to sit inside a mantel-style hood, forming the heat and grease exposure surface while the wood exterior remains decorative. The 48 inch width suits wider cooktop spans where a full-width liner is preferred, so the ventilator and capture area align across the cooking surface.
The manufacturer part number 9187 SUS gives a precise identifier for this stainless steel liner, so repeating the same part across multiple kitchens keeps the ventilator opening consistent from job to job. Being in the range hood liners product class defines its role as the metal interior layer, which simplifies shop drawings because the liner dimensions become the reference for the wood shell build. The stainless material called out in the SAP description means the working surface is metal, which supports a long-term interior finish under normal kitchen use compared to an exposed wood cavity. Designed alignment with Air-Pro 08WP and 08E ventilators lets designers and contractors specify those blower models alongside this 48 inch rectangular liner to standardize their hood assemblies.
The 9187 SUS liner is a range hood liner from VMI, Inc., so it forms the metal interior of a wood range hood around the ventilator opening.
This rectangular mantel liner is designed for Air-Pro 08WP and 08E ventilators, so its interior opening matches those ventilator families.
The SAP description identifies this as a 48 inch rectangular mantel liner, giving a clear width for planning the wood range hood cavity.
The liner is described as stainless steel in the SAP description, so the exposed hood interior is a metal surface rather than wood.
Categorized under wood range hoods, this mantel liner installs as the interior metal shell inside a decorative wood hood structure.
Using a liner designed for Air-Pro 08WP and 08E ventilators keeps blower fit predictable and simplifies layout around those specific units.
This 48 inch rectangular mantel liner from VMI, Inc. combines stainless steel construction with a design focused on Air-Pro 08WP and 08E ventilators, so wood hood projects gain a defined metal interior. For wood range hoods that need a stainless cavity matched to those ventilator models, this 9187 SUS range hood liner sets a consistent footprint that supports repeatable layouts across projects.
